The property is historic, cozy, and warm! The staff are very welcoming, and the downstairs lounge/pub was a vibe for watching sports. Our room was small, but clean and comfortable. There’s free coffee and tea in the lobby :). Would definitely recommend for the location, friendliness and price!

The Green House, where I stayed, is a quirky old Victorian-era house, with old-world charm and details. It is not a cookie cutter hotel room, with beige decor and bland artwork, but is cozy and incredibly clean, and felt like a home away from home. The pub downstairs met all my dinner needs, the ocean was a short walk away, and there were plenty of coffee shops to pick from for a morning walk. Would happily stay here again. Thanks for having me!
Very quiet location, even on the weekend.
I don’t remember what this was, but it was delicious.
The ocean, just a couple blocks away!
